Hosung Kim Mr. Neil Tweedie AP English Literature 11 December 2014 Camus’s Absurdism in Waiting for Godot Voted “the most significant English language play of the 20th century‚” Waiting for Godot implies a strange meaning to all of us.

By the way in my view the VCFC would be improved so well that it could not be done in these days. It seems to me that the VCFC would be improved with latest technologies and with advanced teaching methods. Firstly‚ in 2050 there will be a new building of VCFC. That building will contain maximum 15 to 16 floors and a minimum of 8 floors
